Toward a definition of videoblogging
Today during class, we did some brainstorming to get closer to a definition of videoblogging as we've experienced it. Some of our tentative conclusions included:
- Videoblogging is a practice.
- It's a means of creative expression through video that gets internalized into your everyday life, and can even be defined as a way of life.
- It's necessarily personal, even when it's fictional or poetic.
- It's about process and intent, not product.
- It stands in contrast to the conventions of mainstream media--it's about conversation, expression, and personal intent, not about revenue, ratings, or viral video.
And, like good vloggers, we had to document our work using the handheld devices we keep available at all times:
